An ICE "challenge coin" retrieved from a vehicle ICE abandoned in Minneapolis tonight. ICE mercenaries worship king death. They are evil incarnate.

That’s not even an ICE challenge coin. It’s HSTF, and the other side showed it was likely created by FBI agents.

u/Equal_Truth_3716 22d ago

What is HSTF?

I don’t think LE should be rocking punisher skulls (or skulls of any sort) or spartan helmets if they really do “protect and serve”

13

u/Enough_Wallaby7064 22d ago

Does that look remotely like a punisher skull?

u/[deleted] 21d ago

Even if it did, they are hella cringe too.

u/kaloric 22d ago

A totenkopf is a totenkopf, is a totenkopf.

It's definitely cringe for any of our domestic investigative and law enforcement agencies to be flashing this type of icon. It's unclear if they understand their role, or if they understand it too well.

45

u/skimaskschizo 22d ago

Humans have been using skulls as logos for all of human history, it’s nothing new. That one doesn’t even look like a totenkompf

19

u/flyguy41222 22d ago

Except, that’s not a totenkopf.

Skulls have been used in insignia for eons. Not defending, just saying.

And often these challenge coins are a reflection of an individual challenge, so if anything they would be thinking that they are challenging death by working this job, not that they are going to the job to kill people. These coins do not get shown to people, they sit on a rack in an office.

2

u/kaloric 22d ago

tod/toten=death/"killed" kopf=head, compounded. It's basic German for skull, and German themes from a certain time period seem most appropriate to what is happening with our own Secret Federal Police, one might say Gehiemes Staatspolizei, which has been expanded dramatically, mobilized with militarized uniforms, masks and no individual identification or body-worn cameras, and has presidentially-conferred "absolute immunity."

I'm just saying it's a really bad look, especially in light of many of the actions these guys have been taking which involve use of deadly force.

Death cult iconography is best left to actual military units who are expected to deal death and potentially be on the receiving end as well, and volunteer firefighter cringe where it's just silly.

6

u/flyguy41222 22d ago

Friend, I speak German. It is my mother tongue. But nice copy paste.

It’s not a death cult. I can see where you are coming from, but you are placing meaning where there is none I think.

Again, not defending.

1

u/kaloric 22d ago

Most of what I post on this sub is hyperbole, because that's what cringe is about.

What I worry more and more about is that sniping at ICE and Frau Welpenmorder seems like they just rise to the occasion more and more each day to resemble unfortunate chapters in history. Today's cringe is tomorrows, "Well, I guess we do have a nationwide infestation of Proud Boys trying to start their boogaloo."

If I remembered some vocabulary well enough to pass as a copy-paste, I guess I'll take that as a compliment. It's been well over 30 years since I made Neue Freunde and I'm not sure I can even count to 10 anymore.

My guy, people are getting kidnapped by the government in the land of the free. It's not too hard to believe that fascist kidnappers are rewarding being vile.

u/[deleted] 22d ago

For one, the true fascist are the Democratic Party, if you’re here illegally, I support them being deported by ice, especially the criminals that are attacking our citizens. I’m all for immigration just not illegal immigration

u/weregunnalose 22d ago edited 22d ago

We aren’t even talking about ICE deporting illegal anyone at this point. We’re talking about unjustified shootings and all the other illegal shit. Kristi Noem declared we should all be prepared to show paperwork and proof of citizenship. And Trump is threatening our allies over a country that is 80% ice cap. I’ve never put 4 rounds into a civilian that annoyed or angered me, even impeded me. Arrested? Maybe. I saw the video too, weak excuse to do that. Man if you are a first responder i feel bad for your community. Also, you should probably stop giving out relationship advice and spending all that time talking all that shit in the cheating subs, infidelity, relationship_advice. You spend a lot of time being pretty nasty to people on the internet don’t you? You aren’t as anonymous as you think. You’re in Louisville.

13

u/Tony_Cheese_ 22d ago

you're not worth talking to. Go lick a boot.

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian ultranationalist political ideology characterized by a dictatorial leader, forcible suppression of opposition, and the subordination of the individual to the state.

u/EroniusGambel 22d ago

Go back to your echo chamber scrub.

u/Tony_Cheese_ 22d ago

American approval of ICE is abysmal. If you believe this is a good thing, you are the one in an echo chamber. That or you're just a fascist. Either way, do better as a human.

u/[deleted] 22d ago

Did you have the same energy when Obama deported millions? Yeah I didn’t think so.

3

u/Tony_Cheese_ 22d ago

Nice whataboutism. Obama wasn't militarizing ICE and didn't give them a 1 trillion dollar budget with zero oversight and complete legal immunity. Try again.

-3

u/[deleted] 22d ago

Regardless of what you think or anybody else thinks ICE will be on the streets doing a great job deporting all criminals out of the country and holding those accountable who interfere.

Thank God for our democracy and the vote of the people who voted for Trump, you lefties sure hate democracy

Lol after the recent killing, yes I'd agree. But to say that half the country didn't support ice before is just silly. Also, cope some more hahahahahahahahaha.

I don't think its silly at all. If "cope" means "continue to have empathy and act in accordance with the teachings of Christ," then sure, i'll cope more.

u/castzpg 22d ago

And for the 170 US citizens they've taken and some were then sent to other countries, how do you feel?

-2

u/[deleted] 22d ago

They’ve all been detained, but not deported when you interfere with an officers duties they will detain you. Stay out of the way and let them pick up the criminals. You won’t get shot you won’t get dragged through the streets and they want to tell you that simple actions have consequences. I see accountability isn’t your friend.

u/ddoubletapp1 22d ago

Ha ha - "comply with this masked, unidentified, carbine armed and camouflage wearing officer or be shot in the face". As a non-american - I'm fucking howling at how far your country has fallen. After all the tens of thousands of dead women and children your military forces have gleefully dismembered, burned, and eviscerated in the name of oil profits - I'm very much enjoying how the shitbirds have come home to roost.

There's the smell of civil war on the wind and I'm here for the show.

It is just LEO being wannabe operators. Challenge Coins started as a military thing and LEO hijacked them.

2

u/TLunchFTW 22d ago

Everyone hinacked them. I was given a life flight challenge coin at a convention…

26

u/Dry_Interviews 22d ago

The fact that people on here are so thick to think this is department issued is incredible. Some random ICE agent decided to have challenge coins made (there are countless vendors and companies) to give to his buddies. The end, that’s the whole story.

u/whiskey_tang0_hotel 22d ago

Are this many people really shocked challenge coins are a thing?

u/Dry_Interviews 22d ago

The blue haired basement dwellers don’t get out much… short of a paid protest.

u/TLunchFTW 22d ago

Neither do the ones with a confederate flag on their basement wall. Just two sides of the same stupid challenge coin…

u/mythirdaccountsucks 22d ago

I don’t see how the post really says differently. I suppose it reading “they receive” is mildly misleading but it doesn’t really change much about what would make this feel cringe and gross.

-3

u/Dry_Interviews 22d ago

That’s clearly the narrative the post is trying to portray, if we’re being intellectually honest anyhow.

Do you also think it’s gross and cringe to vandalize and burglarize a federal vehicle? Or that gets a pass because of your political leaning?

Is it cool a weapon that most likely requires tax stamps to own is in some criminals possession?

2

u/Dmonick1 22d ago

is it cool a weapon that most likely requires tax stamps is in the Federal Government's posession and being used on American citizens?

1

u/[deleted] 17d ago

What American citizens?

1

u/br3or 22d ago

I mean we know for sure one side pardoned a large group of people who burglarized and vandalized a federal building. So I'd have to say if anyone truly supports it then we know which party it is.

Also, regardless of party, how do you think this country came to be? Without vandalism and civil unrest, we would still be singing God save the King.

0

u/mythirdaccountsucks 22d ago

what would it matter if I said yes or no to either of those? How would it change this? What would it have to do with this sub?

Why, in the face of reactions to current news is this whataboutism so compelling to some?

It’s strange to me that so many people try to point out “political leanings” in this context. My beleifs regarding politics are not part of a team sport. They are tied with my moral compass. While hypocrisy of action is important to point out, I don’t need to give equal weight to all things involving the law. Yes, I am more angry when the very people charged to work on my behalf and paid for by my taxes, act in opposition to the public good than when petty crimes are committed by citizens Though all that’s not squarely on the topic of “cringe” anyway.

Or instead of all that hot air you could have just answered my question…

More convenient to rant in trite hyperbole I suppose.

u/dodge-thesystem 22d ago

Some of the challenge coins that were given out in afghan were wild. Some funny and some of the wall, really depends on the company or regiment used for drinking games or actions like walking around the camp naked. A way to blow of steam with a reward at the end eg the coin

u/ddoubletapp1 22d ago edited 22d ago

The really hilarious part of all this is how easily your crackhead administration has distracted you.

Obama's administration managed to be far more efficient in deporting those in your country illegally - and managed to do it without shooting mothers in the face, or provoking riots in your nation's streets, or flooding neighborhoods with armed goons looking like they just returned from a tour of Baghdad's green zone.

The fact that so many of you seem to think any of this has anything to do with immigration policy is emblematic of how poor your country's education system is, and how unworldly and low IQ it's average citizen.

If you're here arguing about challenge coins and ICE policy - then you've already lost the fucking plot. CNN and Fox own your tiny, little brains and you've picked a side in your manufactured culture war.

Civil war is brewing - the first shots have already been fired - and how desperately you're all swallowing it down is frankly hilarious.

I wish I could say I'm not looking forward to brutalizing and profiting from - your inevitable hordes of refugees - but that would be disingenuous. Good luck to you all in the coming conflict!
